SRC Announces New Acquisition: Executes LOI to Acquire Billali Gold and Silver Mine
CAMERON PARK, Calif., Jan. 30, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Steele Resources Corporation (the "Company," "SRC") (OTCBB: SELR) announced today that it has executed a Letter of Intent to purchase the privately owned Billali Gold and Silver Mine, a near term production gold and silver mine located in the Steeple Rock district in New Mexico. The district has several historic mines in the area, and from 1880 to 1991 an estimated 151,000 ounces of gold, 1,200,000 pounds of copper, 5,000,000 pounds of lead, and 4,000,000 pounds of zinc was mined from the district.
The Billali Gold and Silver Mine has 28 completed diamond core drill holes and a complete NI 43-101 Technical Report. The technical report, authored by Dr. Jan Rasmussen, a 40 year industry veteran states, "based on the historical drilling… the Billali mine could produce over 219,000 tons of ore averaging 12.8 ounces of silver per ton and 0.244 ounces of gold per ton."
CEO Scott Dockter stated, "SRC is an aggressive, growth oriented company and this gold and silver mine fits SRC's acquisition model perfectly. It is too small for major precious metals companies to consider it, yet offers significant potential gold and silver deposits, and is to a stage where it can be put into production this calendar year depending on financing availability."
The Billali Gold and Silver Mine is adjacent to the Summit Mine (owned by Santa Fe Gold Corp) which reports its "diluted Probable Reserve" is "618,070 tons grading 0.143 ounces of gold per ton and 10.78 ounces of silver per ton." According to the Technical Report, "Three quartz veins carrying silver and gold mineralization run the length of the Billali patented lode mining claim. The same quartz vein that is currently being mined for silver and gold at the adjacent Summit Mine continues into the Billali patented claim. These mineralized quartz structures are the target of the Billali mine plan."
